Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03026272A2] An imaging assembly comprises a first, essentially symmetric reflective surface, having a shape suitable to reflect a substantially panoramic view of an area surrounding it, and a second reflective surface, which is asymmetric with respect to said first reflective surface, viz., which is positioned, with respect to the axis of symmetry of said first reflective surface, such that its movement in one or more directions reflects different portions of the area reflected by said first reflective surface, and the optical properties of said second reflective surface are such that area imaged by it is magnified with respect to the same portion of the area imaged by the first reflective surface.
